The Farmhouse Inn, Monk Street, nr Thaxted
The Farmhouse Inn is tucked away to the side of the B184 just south of Thaxted. It's a lovely old building, serving great real ale, and great food. We dropped in for a quick lunch, and were pleased to see Mighty Oak's 'Maldon Gold' and 'Two Hoots' on offer alongside Greene King IPA.

The Prince of Wales, Stow Maries
